Summary - FFOS-DDU CARNO CAERSWS SY17 5JX
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Secluded elevated home with barn and panoramic rural views for lifestyle buyers.
Approximately 3.83 acres of paddock with small stream and mature trees
Ffos Ddu is a stone-built 3-bedroom cottage set in an elevated, private position with around 3.83 acres of paddock and mature trees. The house combines original character—stone walls, bread oven and multiple wood-burning stoves—with sizeable modern living spaces, including a bright sunroom that frames wide views to the Carno hills and valley.
The layout is flexible: two linked sections are accessed via the sunroom, giving potential for multi-generational living or rental. Ground floor accommodation includes a characterful kitchen/dining room and a split-level living room; upstairs are three bedrooms within generous floor area and a single shower room. An attached barn and large hardcore parking area add storage and conversion potential.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important. The property has been modernised in parts but will suit buyers prepared to carry further works to personalise or upgrade services; the Energy Performance Certificate is F (32). Broadband speeds are very slow and the site is in a very deprived area classification, which may affect connectivity and resale to some buyers. Council tax is above average.
For purchasers wanting substantial land, seclusion and strong rural character, Ffos Ddu provides a turnkey, furnished cottage with immediate access to paddock and a small stream. With no onward chain and scope to convert the barn, it offers a clear opportunity for a downsizing family, rural lifestyle buyer or investor willing to address energy, connectivity and refinement works.
